  2. 296. Results from the 2016 flight of the PoGO+ hard X-ray polarimeter
    Dr Mette Friis (KTH)
    06/11/2017, 10:30
    PoGO+ is a balloon-borne telescope studying the polarization of hard X-ray emission from the Crab (pulsar and nebula) and Cygnus X-1 (an X-ray binary system). A successful one-week flight was conducted during the summer of 2016, launching from the Esrange Space Center, Sweden, and landing on Victoria Island, Canada. Observations of the two scientific targets were conducted on each day...

  3. 292. SPHiNX - a satellite-based GRB polarimeter
    Nirmal Kumar Iyer (KTH)

    The study of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) has taken significant strides since GRBs were first reported by the Vela satellite mission in the 1970s. The Fermi and Swift satellite missions have enabled prompt localisation (imaging), high time resolution lightcurves (timing) and wideband spectral (spectroscopy) studies of the GRB. Despite the advances made in imaging, timing and spectroscopic...

  4. 312. ALTO: A new wide field-of-view gamma-ray observatory in the Southern Hemisphere
    Dr Satyendra Thoudam (Linnaeus University)
    06/11/2017, 11:00
    ALTO is a wide field-of-view air shower detector array proposed for very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy in the Southern Hemisphere. It will be a hybrid detector array consisting of around a thousand detector units (each unit comprises of a water Cherenkov detector and a scintillation detector) which will detect air showers induced by very-high-energy gamma rays (above ~200 GeV) in the...

  5. 298. IceCube: Exploring the Universe with neutrinos
    Erin O'Sullivan (Stockholm University)
    06/11/2017, 11:15
    The IceCube experiment is a cubic-kilometer-scale neutrino observatory that uses photosensors embedded in the ice near the South Pole. IceCube was built primarily to search for astrophysical neutrinos originating from some of the most energetic processes in the Universe. In 2013, IceCube conclusively showed the detection of astrophysical neutrinos, however the hunt for a specific...

  6. 293. The physics case of the proposed large Water Cherenkov Detector GRIPnu
    Prof. Tord Ekelöf (Uppsala universitet)
    06/11/2017, 11:30
    Searching for a difference between neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations may open the way towards new fundamental physics and an explanation of why the world is made of only matter and no anti-matter. To discover such a difference, the development of a very large neutrino detector and a uniquely high-intensity neutrino beam is needed. The same detector will make possible investigations...
